This is another huge book (700 pages) in this series., but I wouldn't have it another way. The crew is back and they are awesome. I really, really love these characters, like all of them. In the first book Rhyker was just Rhyland's brother for me, like ok, you are the brute twin and nothing more. I was so wrong. Rhyker is a loving, smart and amazing male. On the other hand, Keena was not my favorite in this book. She is a mess for a mind healer. I wouldn't trust her to even cure a migraine. She should stop thinking actually, and go and find another mind healer for her, that would save us some time. She is so lucky that Rhyker is her mate and we can't do anything but love her for that.
What I love about these books, is that the story is not focusing on one couple. We actually see all the characters and their POVs, so you don't get to miss them.
I won't rate this book higher than the first book, maybe 3,5 instead of 3, because everyone's inner thoughts are killing me. I just wanted to grab them and shake some sense into them. But well, noone is purrfect right?!
Of we go to Deacon's Star.It will be out soonish!!

Rhyker's Key is a fantastic second book in the Orion's Order series. It is definitely better enjoyed and followed after reading book one Calypso's Heart. This book follows Keena and Rhyker while developing other characters and relationships as well. This captivated my attention from the very beginning and held it throughout. The storyline is well developed and very interesting. Characters are easy to connect to and I am very excited to read more about them in future books.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and I am voluntarily reviewing this , all opinions are my own , honest and freely given.
Ok, I am in shock, because I’m in love with M.C. and also deeply annoyed, she knows I hate cliffhangers and yeah whilst it doesn’t technically count as a cliffhanger ending, it leaves things unresolved for another character to read in future books. (Does not affect our main couple whose plot is resolved in this story)
Let’s start with Rhyker, I love the twins, very very much and he’s my favourite of the pair so I went running, screaming and very happily into this book, threw myself in. I wasn’t disappointed, I loved it so much , it’s a long book, but I love that because I am enjoying it so much I’m always ecstatic when there is still more to go. Rhyker is a great alpha male, he’s badass, strong, a shifter , gorgeous and completely loveable. Like all the males in these books, not misogynistic, I would say the males are feminists (even when overprotective)and I love them all.
Keena is lovely, a great strong woman, she has her weaknesses , her faults but she’s loves and works at it , that’s what makes he so strong and loveable, no miscommunication, always plain speaking. Completely loved her.
My main criticism was there was a bit too much Aleia and Nico for me, don’t get me wrong I loved them both, can’t wait for their book which I really do wish was next, but I can wait, kinda ! But I just wished we were spending that time in this book with Rhyker and Keena. I kind of also hope Cecille is in future books and gets some kind of karma , please !
I loved this book, I can’t wait for Deacon and Starr’s book next (but still wish it was Nico ha ha) if you love your romance fully of great characters, an addictive story and great steamy romance, you will love this. (and to be ready to demand Nico’s book at the end)
Thanks so much Marina, but equally I’m so mad at you for making me wait

I loved the first book in this series and this one didn't disappoint either. Filled with fantastic characters, that I really love to see interact. What I love about these characters is that they are flawed but in very normal ways. Keena is still reeling from an abusive relationship while Rhyker was forever transformed by someone crushing his heart and stealing his trust. Learning to trust again is never easy but these two broken souls can find a way through once they open themselves up again.
While the story focuses on Kenna and Rhyker all the other characters play important roles in the action. As they are still searching for the Mastermind, a mentalist who has his sights set on Cassy. Well developed characters and a great story line keep this series moving along. I can't wait until the next one

I listened to a review copy of Rhykers Key was more than I expected . After listening to book 1 Calypso’s Heart I was eager for Rhyker’s Key on audio and boy was I in for a treat . MC Solaris went above and beyond with this book and I was happy , sad , angry , amused it was like an emotional rollercoaster ride. I loved Rhyker in CH and was happy he got his own book (oh and I licked him so he’s mine)

I will admit to being grumpy a little over 50% while reading. I was so confused why Rhyker’s novel wasn't mainly about R&K. Then - it all made sense with the twist. That twist made everything click.

Disclosure I received and ARC from the author. All thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.
I have been waiting to read this book since I finished Calypso’s Heart. I even pushed off studying for exams to read this book at times. It was worth it. What I enjoyed is that you got to know the characters better. Having already fallen in love with the pack I was looking forward to getting to know what makes them tick, and I got that. If you enjoyed the first book then you will enjoy this one.
What I especially enjoyed was the twists that took place throughout. I also loved the world building that happened throughout. We got the basic structure in the last book and now details are being expanded and I loved it.
My one warning would be that the phrase “pregnant pause” occurs a lot throughout the entire book. I thought it was funny noticing a go to phrase for the author.
If you enjoy paranormal romance books then there is no reason not to pick this up.

I loved this book. I am just in love with the characters and the world, and I cannot wait to have all the books out already. Rhyker and Keena's romance was something I was very much excited about from book one.
In this second book, we have Keena, a mind healer that is friends with all the pack as we saw in the previous book. She has a tragic past involving her parents that shaped her future and her relationships, and when she meets Rhyker, she is not sure she is ready to be with him. Keena was an intriguing character, from her background to her teaching yoga, and seeing her grow to trust her partner and develop a loving relationship was all I wanted for her. She is a very real character with real struggles, so it's easy to relate to her and like her.
And then there is Rhyker, the bad boy of the pack. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a tall, dark, and handsome type of guy, shifter in this case. I like to think Rhyker is a big teddy jaguar because, from the first time he saw Keena, he wanted her and did a lot to be with her, despite the reservations he had. He is sweet at the same time he is fierce and protective. He loves Keena and does all he can to help her realize they are right for each other. His faith in then was beautiful.
The only thing I will say is that I did expect more of their relationship evolving. After they moved in together, I was expecting minor conflicts and all that comes with sharing someones' space, but I was not satisfied with this part. Instead, we got a lot more from other character's POV, which I did not mind at all, and I am so looking forward to the romance that I hope to read more about as soon as the author releases it.
One thing I loved was that there is a lot about the couple from book one, so I'm not upset over not seeing the relationship develop between Keena and Rhyker because I am sure they will participate a lot in the next book, and I will be able to see them again.
*I have received an ACR of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That in no way altered my perception of the book.
